Today was a work from home day. This mainly intails me checking e-mails and completing any urgent tasks that emerge. Today was very quiet until about 4 this afternoon. Then all heck broke loose.
My customer needed an urgent shipment sent to India for arrival on Monday morning. No problem there, just a routine task. Except that today was not a great one for homeworking.
I lost my internet connection juust as I began entering the data. Couldn't find my phone/modem lead that I used to keep at home. Quick trip to PC World - a shop I hate. New lead purchased I drove home and reconnect.
Then followed 4.5 hours of frustration, swearing and banging of blunt instruments. Fortunately FW was out all day, and has gone to visit her mum, otherwise I may have bitten her as well. My connection speeds went from 2mb broadband to 9.4k over the phone.
I finally finished an hour ago. Now I've managed to retrieve my broadband connection and am now able to cook my tea.
Who said computerisation was the way of the future?
